ADB plays a tangible role in deepening the finance sector in Georgia. Since 2007, it has provided nonsovereign loans amounting to $255 million and TA to banks and its Trade Finance Program. ADBs nonsovereign efforts align with a sovereign program approved in 2016 and a new program anticipated for 2019 to develop the capital markets, including the issuance of lari bonds and covered bond legislation, among other banking policy reforms.
